William-Quincy Riddle 4 (5), second son of William 3 (3), was born in Bedford, N. H., June 8, 1828. He has never married. Mr. Riddle is a graduate of Harvard and Yale Colleges, and has been engaged in the practice of law in New York city for nearly fifteen years. He is regarded as an able member of the legal profession, and is employed on cases that involve very large sums of money. He is affable, genial, and conversational, and withal a refined and cultivated gentleman. Mr. Riddle attended the family meeting of the Riddles, held in Philadelphia, in the summer of 1876, and took an active part in the business of that meeting. He moved the appointment of the "Co-operative Committee," who have rendered important assistance in the furtherance of this book; he was one of the general and sub-committees, and has personally devoted valuable attention to the interests of the work. The author's acknowledgments are due this gentleman, for the timely suggestions and substantial aid given during his arduous labors in the prosecution of his work, — a work which, but for the encouragement of Mr. Riddle, might never have been published.
